I stand in awe each time I see
a thousand flowers bearer tree,
Pretty flowers like anemones
at tall trunk with hard fruits like stones
or bullet balls of the army....

In the spring rain,
the cedars bear alien fruit:
gelatinous growth
like orange sea anemones,
slimy creatures whose
slippery tendrils quiver
sporeful 
revolting and fascinating
life
fills all niches

It was inside you.
   The hurricane.
Limbs killing you at every turn

*

   Past the present,
you were discovering childhood,
   on the deserted beach.

*

   Sea anemones
raising their arms to
   spill some secrets.

I have a sweet little stomach and a mouth that sometimes glows.
Finger-like tentacles too, no eyes, no neck, no chin or nose.
Ready to guess? Okay then, I can live in your stomach or the sea.
Three hints. Hydra. Sea Anemones, corals.  A polyp is the name for me!...

sea anemone 
produces own eggs
and sperm 
needs a good kisser 
 
[*Sea anemones breed by liberating sperm and eggs 
through their mouths into the sea.]

June sound waves are breathtakingly glittery.
Waves build avid foam on sandy coasts till blistery. 
Avian creatures while they slumber, are still jittery    
While the blossoming flora spreads its mystery. 
Anemones and coral reefs show Earth's history.

I love bluebells, 
I like their deep scent, 
the way they jingle invitingly in the spring breeze, 
their delicate blanket patchworked by trees,
brief but bold blues against verdant greens, sparkling with white anemones.
This year I look at them and all they are doing is reminding me of the colour of your eyes....

I'm sunlight
of the deep
brightly colored
red and pink
orange striped
yellow green
black dotted
like the wings
of a flying
monarch queen.
In the sky of the sea
freely glide
tree to tree
anemones, coral reefs
of their polyps 
have my fill
then at night
in crevice reefs
hide my brightness
and go to sleep....

Listen to poem:

Down under the sea it's frolic time free.
Fiddler crabs play jigs, lolling, lively lilts.
Cockles flap up to clang their symbols with glee.
Angelfish, halos askew, sing in kilts.
Octopuses play jazz in harmony.
Shrimps a dancing, rocking attune on stilts.
Anemones tentacles wave in surge,
as tide and current roll rhythms and submerge....

Forgive me

My earing is lost
And flowers have taken my bracelet
I have no jewelry to wear 
And make you satisfied

The moon was hidden in my heart
And sun in the necklace
Which stars have taken it
And now anemones are flowing
 My hands to color them

I am the most merciful
Forgive me because I have no jewelry 
 To wear and satisfy you...

Small fish die
But don’t you cry
They leave behind their bones
To make a brand new home
Called a Coral Reef

Beautiful bright colors to behold
Such as pink, yellow, orange and gold
A place where many fish live except for the whales
Such as anemones, sponges and snails
Where they hide from the shark with great relief
A place they call home, Coral Reef...

     Between anemones
     where the soil smells damp
     Lungs are filled with poetry
     Destiny, the exact moment
     Breathing, embroidered cosmos rhythm
     Synonym, a balance setting
     Metaphors sticks to the palate
                         - sweet chewing gum
     which grows and grows
                          ... must spit it out...

Be a daffodil  amongst the dandelions
Be that bluebell in the wood
Bloom while others wither
Be a petal on a rose
Be a wish on a daisy
he loves me, he loves me not
Be a lily on a pond
Be the sweetest scent
shine like the tallest sunflower
Be Bette Midler’s the rose
Be Aphrodite tear create the red anemones
but most of all be fabulous
my dear and bloom...

In the balcony
matte silver hair
On opposite
another flame ending
In between
arrives morning sun
A little put out

Unselfconsciously I turn my head
A blackberry tree dropping
a yellow moan

In the lawn
Tales of anemones

Cool palms on my hair
It's October

The Spring Play
The snowdrops are almost gone
The crocus sitting proud showing off their vase like blooms
The daffodils sit behind the curtains waiting to be called upon
The bluebells also waiting for the call to join the spring garden rooms
The anemones and fritillarias, dancing in their new spring costumes.

The Scuba Diver 

we look down
signal frantically
‘come up’,
though it is already 
too late

he dances wide eyed
with ecstasy
as the nitrogen 
tickles his cells

anemones
cling to the steep
rock walls
fish feed and dawdle
incuriously

we peer through
our tiny windows
into the ink black sea

as he goes 
free wheeling 
down, 
down,
a rictus of laughter 
on his face...

He is an earthy fool of morning—

makes the uphill trek of five leagues

and gathers anemones.

 

He is a fiery child of dusk—

arrives in the quietness beyond fatigue

and knocks at the door.

 

She is a flighty girl of night—

wears an anemone in her hair

and opens the door.

 

It is a deranged river of dawn

breaks the shackles that tamed it once

and rears its hood to strike....

from root to flower

I was told who to fear
And believed every invasion
My chains have been broken
Released, the Raven flies to freedom
I've woken from my dream
Naked to all who seek justice
A mortal prognosis
Missing in the sewers of statehood
Brought to life by
Teargas in the streets
Celebrated by silver anemones
Luminescent of ginger blossoms
Gaslights reflect a feast
Forgotten before time began

                          Before

                          .........Time began...

two birds on a branch
                              one day they bring a message
                                    soon they will be three
 


       One little girl of two years, with three white anemones in her hand
         Hooray, spring is here ~ both humans and animals understand

I could not stick my head in glue
To feed and wait with barnacles,
Or seek security among
Aggregate anemones,
Or anchor to tomorrow with sedentary polyps,
Or browse with slugs,
Or cling to rocks,
Or maintain the perpetual
Defensiveness of urchins,
Or achieve “being realistic”
With camouflaged bottom dwellers,
Or remain isolated in a shell.

I float on my colors,
Moved by current desires.
Developing backbone
To swim effortlessly
In the ocean of possibility....

I looked through the window sill
Came to my mind a windmill
Tall and lean with many arms
Unlike those windmills at farms.

Up in the air, they dances
Close to sea anemones
Despite their bunches of loads
Shakes with the tip of its toes.

They love the sea’s mercy
The one is in no worry
To adapt in my red place
And persuade me with its grace.

Almost long a year to greet
The hard shell one-seeded fruit
Which hides the virgin water
And make my tongue feel better....

-Above-
               Light shines through the walls of open windows, 
              And I wish I could see her face. 
            But she was lost way back when I left her. 
           Now flowers are in her place.
                     
                      Anemones for the way I treated 
her
                      Dandelions for the way we could have
 loved
                      Daisies for the days we could have 
laughed 

And now rain washes me down from
